    I had a problem after placing my order. I contacted the seller who responded within an hour and resolved the issue with no hassle. This book was a fair price and received today. I failed to notice, but the description did indicate it was missing the dust jacket. I highly recommend this seller.

    Four young girls that made a promise to keep a lie.

    I have Ware’s other books and this is not of her most intense maybe because it was an earlier book. It certainly was OK but her latter books are extremely good. I can’t wait for the next book by this English writer.

  • I would be lying to say The Lying Game was really good

    The quality of the actual purchase was fine, but I was disappointed in the book. Annoying characters and predictable mystery and solution.
